Greetings Webtaculators! Just when you think that the world will do something rational for once, a country decides to implode the global market because it thinks it’s not free, even though most of the rest of the world spent the last century trying to free themselves from that country. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (long read)
What: Bregret
Why: Because in order to really understand what this vote this vote really was about, take a look at this video, and then this one, by main Brexit proponent Nigel Farage. Then look at him giving arguably one of the most tone deaf victory speeches ever. Oh, he also lied about one of the main arguments for leaving. At least the people who voted for it understood it and are happy. Oh wait, they didn’t, and they aren’t. Good job, Great Britain, you are officially the dumbest country, at least until November, when this guy has a legitimate shot at becoming the President of the U.S.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: See Brexit, supra
Why: Because the market hates nothing more than uncertainty, and the only thing certain about a Brexit vote was uncertainty.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Immigrants Just Can’t Catch A Break This Week
Why: Because one thing that is absolutely clear about this week is that white people are scared. At least Affirmative Action was upheld.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Copa De Chile
Why: Because Chile defeated Messi’s Argentina for the second year in a row to win the Copa America, which apparently was Messi’s last appearance for Argentina.

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Independencier
Why: Because much like the fools who led the Brexit who can’t stop quoting the first one, the new Independence Day is terrible.

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. watch)
What: The Future Of Popular Rap, Or Something
Why: Because I had to listen to white high school guys imitate this goddamn song all spring.

PHOTOGRAPHY THING OF THE WEEK (long look)
What: 45 Years Of Pride
Why: Because it was SF Pride this weekend, and one of the oldest gay parades had an extra meaningful celebration this year.

LITERATURE THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: Understanding War Through Fiction
Why: Because sometimes the best war stories need to be told through a pretend lens.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (6 min. read)
What: WASD
Why: Because the now common keyboard input for game movement was not a given.

INTERNET THINGS OF THE WEEK (∞)
What: Jumping Goats; Human Prehistory; Drunk and Noble; Transportation Haiku Battle

Greetings Webtaculators! Want to know how I’m getting old? Well, you probably don’t but I’ll tell you anyway – this is the first year that I have been in existence where a decent minority of my friends and colleagues on social media were being wished a happy father’s day instead of doing the well-wishing themselves. It’s pretty cool to think about how many people I know who were barely able to function on their own just a few years ago are now responsible for an entire additional human being! I’m kidding! They’re all doing fan”stackic” so far. Sorry. It’s an attempt at a dad joke. I’m still practicing.

Now for something completely unrelated – Between a week full of car and computer problems, it is sort of disheartening to realize how much I depend on some combination of metal, plastic, and glass working correctly in order to do basically anything. Medieval me would be highly disappointed in my inability to function without technology (but only after burning me as a witch for riding in a metal beast and then watching a moving picture on a metal slab). On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (8 min. read)
What: The Brexit
Why: Because what started off last week as a humourous naval battle quickly became a national tragedy.

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK ()
What: The New Definitive Pixar List
Why: Because Pixar just released a very good Pixar movie about a fish with a disability. How are they so good at story telling?!?! Oh, here’s how.

TV THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: So That’s Where This Season’s Budget Went (SPOILERS!)
Why: Because this season of Game Of Thrones has been relatively underdeveloped since it sprinted ahead of the books, but this episode really delivered.

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. listen)
What: Songs For Summer
Why: Because DJ Earworm is also letting me know I’m old since I have no idea what most of these songs are. I’m too busy listening to the new Chili Peppers.

What: Best Of E3
Why: Because there’s a new Zelda.

INTERNET THINGS OF THE WEEK (∞)
What: Car Pool Chilioke; It’s A SPACE STATION!; Fathers Day Cards Suck

Greetings Webtaculators. I am once again appalled by the way humanity can act. My thoughts are with Orlando. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: 50 Dead In Orlando In Club Shooting
Why: Because I have no more words for how this makes me feel. So I will instead let my friend Scott say it in his own words.

“Safety. That’s what’s on my mind this morning.
I remember the first time I went to a gay bar and the incredible sense of safety that swept over me. These were my people. I could let down my guard. I would be okay.
Nothing is safe any more. Not a kindergarten. Not a movie theater. Not a gay bar where many went to escape unsafe situations elsewhere.
And we’re responsible for creating unsafe situations everywhere, around the world.
Guns, extremism, greed, power, colonialism, racism and misogyny, all enabled and unchecked, have created this status quo. I’m so sad and ashamed.”

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: The Bay Can’t Win ‘Em All…

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. watch)
What: How Much People Who Make Movies Make

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (8 min. read)
What: Pet Sounds Still The Best Sounds

What: Hamilton Banks The Tonys
Why: Because the show Hamilton won an astounding 11 Tonys at the Tony Awards tonight.

BOARD GAME THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. watch)

Why: Because Settlers of Catan is one of the most popular board games of all time, so you should probably know something about it.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Why Does E3 Still Exist?
Why: Because the biggest video game industry event has become seemingly less necessary, it still remains an important barometer of the future of games. Here are some of the big ones coming in the near future.

Greetings Webtaculators! I hope you all had as great of a Sunday as I did – drinking wine, watching the Warriors crush the Cavs, and getting Beyoncemacated. Hope everyone had a great weekend as well. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (20 min. read)

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: You’re Welcome
Why: Because this is what I actually do for my real job. See? I’m helping!

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (20 min. read)
What: Rape Is Not OK
Why: Because this outcome is indicative of both how we treat rape in the US, and how privilege plays a role in the outcome of litigation.

SCIENCE THING OF THE WEEK (15 min. read)
What: How To Look At Data
Why: Because most of us probably spend time trying to analyze data in some way or another, so understanding the best way to produce data for humans to be able to understand is probably helpful.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Djokovic Finally Conquers France
Why: Because Novak Djokovic finally won the French Open after 12 years.

INTERNET THING OF THE WEEK (long read)
What: Grantland Part II
Why: Because Bill Simmons just released his newest online thing on the world. It already is terrible because one of its first articles defends Joe Buck, the worst human being in the world (only because he hates Bay Area sports for some reason- he seems OK otherwise).

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Wedding Music
Why: Because now I don’t need to make my own playlist.

FOOD THING OF THE WEEK (15 min. read)
What: Pho-king Good
Why: Because Pho is one of my favorite types of my favorite food. Yes, soup is my favorite kind of food. Take your favorite dish, put it in a broth, and I guarantee that the outcome is 100x better.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (13 min. watch)
What: How FPS’s Work
Why: Because making a game that essentially boils down to pushing the W, S, A, D, and “space” keys while moving and clicking your mouse try to feel good is actually challenging.

Greetings Webtaculators! I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day Weekend! Remember, it’s not just a time to revel in three days of not having to work; it’s supposed be for taking time to remember those who fell in battle while fighting in our wars. I hope you all were able to do that. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (6 min. read)
What:  A Call To End To The War Ender
Why: Because a sitting President has never directly addressed the bombing of Hiroshima before. It is fitting way to acknowledged all the victims of World War II.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (45 min. read)
What: Go Home, Young Man
Why: Because more young(ish) adults are living with their parents than ever before.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (2 min. read)

NEWS THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: The World Of Online Publishing
Why: Because we now live in a time where multi-billionaires use their personal wealth to destroy blogs, and another once venerable site no longer produces good work, at least according to another competitor. Basically, there will be no news except Buzzfeed and Facebook soon.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. look)
What: Overwatch Is Good
Why: Because surprise! Blizzard made another excellent game. So good, in fact, that apparently Amazon didn’t have enough copies in stock.

Greetings Webtaculators! Petco Park in San Diego may be the saddest ballpark in America. It is a beautiful park in a great location in a laid back city, but absolutely no one actually goes to the games. It’s especially bad when there are more away fans (GO GIANTS!) than home fans at a game. Oh well, I guess that’s why I was able to get last minute tickets for $15. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (13 min. watch)
What: Trippin’
Why: Because it might be a good idea to have a better idea of how psychedelics actually effect the human mind.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: Long Haul Robotin’
Why: Because kids doing the “air horn move” at trucks on the highway pretty soon be completely ignored. You can personally thank Webtaculator Daniel for ruining yet another childhood pastime.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: I’m Pretty Sure You Can’t Do That
Why: Because I’m all for states’ rights, but seriously. Stop this nonsense.

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (5 hr. watch)
What: Learnin’ With The Herz
Why: Because Werner Herzog is teaching 20 classes on how to be a documentary filmmaker.

TV THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Ratings And Sex
Why: Because male dominated polls might be skewing websites’ reporting of how popular shows actually are. But don’t worry, Real Housewives is still terrible. No one should watch it. Ever.

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (13 min. watch)
What: The Rhymes Are On Time
Why: Because this video breaks down how the best in the biz construct their songs.

LITERATURE THING OF THE WEEK (10 min. read)
What: Supertramp, Revisited
Why: Because the author of the classic Into The Wild revisited his assumptions about what caused Chris McCandless’ death in the Alaskan wilderness.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (3 hr. watch)
What: A Perfect Game Of Donkey Kong
Why: Because professional Donkey Kong player Wes Copeland (yes that’s a real thing) just smashed the alltime high score for Donkey Kong, in a way that will be almost impossible for a human to match. Just watch for a few minutes to see how much better he is than your one time that you had a few minutes to waste while waiting for a slice pizza.

INTERNET THINGS OF THE WEEK (∞)
What: SNL Made Me Laugh; Space Is Dangerous; The Happiest Chewbacca; Driver The Most

Greetings Webtaculators! This is the view from my room for the week:Sometimes working for the state has occasional benefits. Unfortunately, I get to spend the majority of my time in San Diego sitting in a conference room learning about utility ratemaking instead of enjoying this view. Oh well. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: A Visit Worth More Than Words
Why: Because even though the United States and Japan have been allies and business partners for the better part of six decades, the atrocity that marked the end of one of the most deadly periods of human history has never been directly addressed until now.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
Why: Because at this rate, my dead corpse will somehow be working off some sort of debt.

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (9 min. look)
What: How To Edit
Why: Because editing is one of the most important aspects of movies (and other work) that is as important as the work itself.

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. listen)
What: Media Integration
Why: Because it’s helpful that one of my favorite bands of this generation is writing music for video games. That officially makes it art, right?

NEWS THING OF THE WEEK (8 min. read)
What: The Most Trusted Name In Newsfeed
Why: Because for all the calls of suppression and censorship, Facebook is not a “news” provider or government entity, and therefore they can do whatever they want.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (9 min. watch)
What: Isn’t That Old?
Why: Because those were the first words out of my fiance’s mouth when asking why I was playing a game called Doom in 2016. For those of you who don’t know the first Doom came out in 1993, and was at one point the most installed piece of software in the world (yes, ahead of Windows).

INTERNET THINGS OF THE WEEK (∞)
What: Snacking 101; The Toast Is Toast; You Will Now Sleep

Greetings Webtaculators! Happy Mother’s Day! Side note: why isn’t it Mothers’ Day? I mean, it’s not like there’s just one mom worth celebrating. It’s all the moms. Given, in any “traditional” family, the assumption is that there is only one mom, but that doesn’t mean that it is only that one mom who deserves celebration. I demand grammatical correctness, damnit. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (6 min. look)
What: Pres(Tr)umptive Republican Nominee
Why: Because America deserves a slow clap for letting this happen. And yes, this purposefully links to a foreign news outlet because I can only imagine what the rest of the world thinks about this happening. “We’re gonna win bigly.” London decides to go in the opposite direction.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (6 min. read)
What: The Next Currency Creator
Why: Because he’s probably lying. Again.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (15 min. read)
What: The Crime Of Sex
Why: Because this piece takes a long look at the criminalization of sex work, and its effect on the women the laws effect.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (2 min. read)
What: 19 Years In The Making
Why: Because that is the slowest rounding of the bases I have ever seen. But then again, I’ve never hit a homerun in a major league ball park either.

MATH THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. watch)
What: Illegal Numbers
Why: Because encryption with a prime number is a hell of a weird practice.

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK ()
What: Head Without Radio
Why: Because Radiohead released it’s newest album, A Moon Shaped Pool in a whirlwind of uninternet activity over the past week, followed by a release of the hauntingly beautiful Burn The Witch followed by Paul Thomas Anderson’s music video of Daydreaming. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it since it came out today. The album is undoubtedly beautiful and well composed, but it seems something that would be more appropriate for background music or a movie soundtrack, much like the videos suggest. It suffers similar problems to 2011’s King Of Limbs – gorgeous melodies lost in the weight of Radiohead’s own back catalog (seriously, take another listen to Kid A or In Rainbows immediately for juxtaposition). However, if you want a Radiohead-esque vibe with some SoCal rap-rock and slap bass, look no further than the new Chili Peppers’ Dark Necessities, also produced by longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Have fun looking for similarities.
IMMEDIATE UPDATE: So I’ve been listening to the album a little bit more through decent headphones turned way up while composing this issue. There’s a lot of mixing highlights and subtleties I am now noticing that I missed through my car speakers. Let’s just say it’s growing on me, but that just might be the bright computer screen and sleepiness talking.

PHOTOGRAPHY THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: Remnants Of Flame
Why: Because the Alberta fire is no joke.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: From 1 To Infinite
Why: Because Call of Duty is betting on the future, while Battlefield is betting on the past. The internet seems to be betting on the past, based off of YouTube likes.

INTERNET THINGS OF THE WEEK (∞)
What: M&mmmms; I Hate Everything About This; Fight Knight
Why: Because Internet.

The Internet You Didn’t Know You Needed™

Greetings Webtaculators! Welcome to yet another week of Webtacular World. Weird, right? The fact that we here at Webtacular World have managed to put together 126 consecutive notices on a weekly basis probably confounds the few of you who actually know us (us meaning me, since, as of this publication, we are still a one person shop [the we makes us sound more professional in case anyone ever wants to buy us (wink wink rich friends)]). Recently, a friend of Webtacular World asked us how we maintain a consistent schedule, especially considering humans as a group of individuals are profoundly prone to being, well, lazy. This is not a bad thing!  In fact, this is the entire premise of how we manage to actually get a fully fledged product out the door every Sunday night. Basically, this counts as our Managing Editor’s relaxation from all of the other things he’s supposed to be doing at any given time. For some reason,  he finds digging through the drivel and poorly written content of The Internet to be therapeutic, since it reminds him of how small he is in the day to day operations of human output that presents itself in written or performed form from other publications. Humans are pretty amazing on the whole, and the reporting of what drives a bunch of other people who don’t happen to be our Managing Editor happen to be really interesting to him. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (32 min. watch)
What: Last Laugh
Why: Because Obama presided over his final Correspondents’ Dinner. Based off of the content of this website, I think I should qualify to attend the next one.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What:Measuring Wealth
Why: Because even with the recovery, many people in the US feel that the economy has not recovered. This is an alternative proposal.

Why: Because this is the first time in decades that a non – Boeing or Lockheed haven’t won a contract from NASA in years.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (10 min. read)

Greetings Webtaculators! Hope everyone is having a great time celebrating Passover! We here at Webtacular World just assume that everyone else celebrates Judaism,since it just makes it easier for us. However, if for whatever reason, you have no idea why Jews decide to eat a terrible version of bread for a week (OR DO WE????), please feel free to see INTERNET THING OF THE WEEK for what is basically a Seder service. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: The Prince Of Purple
Why: Because Prince was one of the most prolific and influential musicians of our time. Again, a transformative musician’s death has been one of the bigger stories of the week. Again, it’s hard to fathom how this is the “story of the week,” considering how many other things that seem like they should be more important. However, the fact that individuals such as Prince really do change the course of culture on a prolific level shows just how important these people actually are. Here are some other songs that he also was responsible for.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Feel Good Law
Why: Because sometimes the Chief Justices actually seem like decent human beings.

SCIENCE THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Space Race
Why: Because I haven’t seen anyone else use this embarrassingly simple pun in regards to an astronaut running a marathon in space.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (20 min. read)
What: The Fall Of Tiger
Why: Because even though Tiger Woods has been out of the golf world’s eye for a number of years, ESPN actually did a good job of recording the fall of a great player who had many, many other issues in his life.

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (6 min. watch)
What: 100 Shots
Why: Because these shots make up some of the best ones ever captured on film.
